5 out of 5 starsGot these earrings for my wedding day since they perfectly match my engagement and wedding ring (also from Dawn) and they are so gorgeous! Tiny yet just as detailed as the rest of Dawn's work (the tiny twigs have a detailed wood grain texture).

5 out of 5 starsAfter my fiance bought my engagement ring from Dawn, we both knew we had to buy our wedding rings from her as well! There's no one out there doing such beautiful and detailed nature-inspired sculpting! My fiance loves his new band so much that he's already wearing it daily before the actual wedding!

5 out of 5 starsThis necklace is stunning, I absolutely love it. Seller was excellent to work with. She was even willing to delay shipping when I was going to be out of town during the delivery window.

5 out of 5 starsDawn and her team do incredible work. The craftsmanship they put into their rings is beyond compare. Dawn went above and beyond to help me find the perfect stones for it. I’ve never been a big jewelry person but my fiancé and I wanted to find a ring I’d actually enjoy wearing. As an artist, wildlife biologist and nature enthusiast, this ring perfectly encapsulated everything I was looking for in a ring. Raw, natural looking stones that glint in certain lighting but aren’t overly flashy and that perfect balance of controlled symmetry mixed with organic asymmetry in the way the roots appear to be growing over the stones hits the mark. It’s the same look I go for when building vivariums or painting a nature scene. This ring is gorgeous and changes appearance in different lighting. I wish I could share 14 pictures!

5 out of 5 starsDawn helped me in a pinch when I was trying to get a Christmas gift a week before flying to visit my boyfriend’s family :) i messaged her to ask if she thought it’d be possible to get the necklace in time and she shipped it right away. It came in ample time and was so sweetly wrapped. Thank you, Dawn!

About the Artist...Dawn
I'm Dawn, and I love what I do!
I express myself & my personality through my love of sculpting and designing! We all start somewhere to end up where we are and where we want to be.
I'm was born and raise in Rutherfordton, North Carolina. I currently live in Huntersville, NC. Not to far from Lake Norman. The area is beautiful and growing fast! I am very close to my family, as most all still live near by.
This isn't a resume so I'm not going to start at the very beginning of how I got to where I am, but I have been through a lot of growth, business and the ups and downs that come with it.
In 2011 I decided to really put my passion for designing and sculpting to work for me. What started out as a hobby, quickly became a business. I took my new designs of bracelets, rings & earrings on the road with me to show and sell at art festivals, art shows and Artisan markets. I developed a nice following and did custom designs for the people that followed my work.
I then decided to branch out and put myself online, so I joined Etsy.com
I started out with one of a kind sterling silver bracelets, rings and necklaces. As time went on, I learned more techniques, learned about raw diamonds and gemstones. These unique raw materials fascinated me!
The raw rough uncut natural diamond twig engagement ring quickly became my most popular design and still is.
As business started to grow, I needed extra hands on deck. I hired my daughter, Missy. Missy quickly became my right hand man when it came to working with customers, marketing and keeping everything running so I can do what I do best, design, sculpt and create new products!
I love what I do! I love to create and talk with customers. Our customers share their proposals stories, their wedding & anniversary photos with us all the time! It's the best feeling in the world to make something that is a part of their special occasion.
I am introducing new gemstones, moissanite diamond and hand crafted designs all the time! I hope you enjoy the designs I am so passionate about and I hope I can create something special for you!
Thank you for stopping by to get a little glimpse into my little design world!
